Analysis
YPS-4
Slight power edge
YPS-3
Denji has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around self-determination and identity / how much the universe protects them. Gyomei Himejima's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
